HISTORY AP History Advice

Showing 1 to 3 of 4

I would recommend this AP World History class to any incoming freshman. This is because the class covers all of history in a way that you actually learn and not just memorize facts. The class will prepare you completely for the AP test at the end of the year. The clas will also prepare you for future AP courses.

Course highlights:

My favorite part of the class was when we learned about the religions of the world. We did charts, timelines, and even a couple of essays. Every topic was approached the same way. In this class, there in no way to avoid learning.

Hours per week:

6-8 hours

Advice for students:

Study regularly and purchase the Princeton Review book for AP World History. Pay attention to the teacher because sometimes he says important facts that are not included in the book or PowerPoints. Check Edmonds constantly and sign up for the Remind app in order to be on top of what is going on in the class.

| Would recommend.

Pretty easy, overall.

Course Overview:

I would definitely recommend if you want to truly learn of the detailed history of the United States. The class focuses on the 18th and 19th century, though the professor had trouble finishing the 20th before the test date.

Course highlights:

The highlights were definitely his personality. The professor loves what he does and makes the history of the United States like a really dramatic story. He uses engaging cartoons and movies to make students interested in the class.

Hours per week:

3-5 hours

Advice for students:

I would definitely consider studying the 20th century on your own. Watch Adam Norris and Crash Course on YouTube, both of which provide excellent sources of information in conjunction​ with the course. For lectures, take notes on the Princeton Review.
